Since 2018, the Japan Association for Diabetes Education and Care (JADEC) and Sanofi have collaborated to implement the KiDS programme among teachers in Japan. Outreach sessions intend to provide participants with an accurate understanding of diabetes through lectures by diabetes specialists and insulin mentors* and Q&A sessions. The aim is to support teachers in developing a school environment that helps children with diabetes build self-confidence. In July 2024, the programme began offering online sessions to increase audience reach. The first was organised for teachers from the Niigata City Board of Education.

*JADEC developed the Insulin Mentor programme as a peer support initiative for people with diabetes. By sharing lived-experience, Insulin Mentors work to support children with diabetes and raise awareness of diabetes in society.
